Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyRandomized controlled double-blind trial of transversus abdominis plane block versus trocar site infiltration in gynecologic laparoscopy.
The objective of the study was to determine whether transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block reduces postoperative pain when compared with trocar site infiltration of bupivacaine in gynecological laparoscopy. ⋯ As part of this multimodal analgesic regimen, neither block method provided a significant clinical benefit compared with trocar site bupivacaine infiltration.
